Everyday for kidnapper, one day for the hostage

Why do i have this feeling that the NPF are the owners of those exhibits

Kudos to the policemen. It means there are still dedicated officers among the 'Where your parti-kolas?' people. This shows there are still officers who joined the force because of their passion to fight criminality. Just like the Fulanis, there are good ones among them although the evil ones have tarnished their image. I once saw some Fulanis returning from their farm in Zuba, Abuja with one of them carrying a very big watermelon. I jokingly told him, Agwei, du alla,h kabane watermelon. He didn't hesitate but handed it over to me. I was reluctant to collect it because he was with a machete lest he slashes off my hand. With a smile on his face, he gave it to me. Wow! Nice Agwei

good riddance

Good news.. May the other die of his wounds

The police did not shoot him well,they should shoot him again.

I sha thank God for the lives of the rescued, it would have been a scary adventure for them, cuz I know they would be raped even if their ransoms were paid.
